The beginning of Siheyuan starts with refusing to bring lunch boxes

"It's like this, Aunt Wang, you know Jia Dongxu's family in our courtyard, right?"

"I know, what happened in their family?" Director Wang frowned!

"The Jia family is really having a hard time now. Only Qin Huairu is a widow who is supporting the family. Life is not easy for any family now. However, Qin Huairu only earns 275 yuan a month. She has no problem eating enough, but forget about eating well. However, Jia Zhang often goes to other people's houses to ask for food. If they don't give it to her, she will throw a tantrum, and the three masters can't do anything about her."

"Look, I bought two taels of meat yesterday, and Qin Huairu came to my house to ask for meat. I guess it was because Jia Zhang was greedy and forced Qin Huairu to go."

Upon hearing this, Director Wang frowned even deeper, "Zhu Zi, is this true? Why don't the three uncles take care of it properly?"

"Auntie Wang, the uncle in charge is just trying to mediate a minor conflict. Besides, she just went there to ask for something delicious, which is not a big deal. The three uncles can only persuade her and make concessions. There is nothing else we can do."

Director Wang nodded, but still said, "Zhu Zi, just like you said, even the street office can't do anything. Jia Zhang's household registration is not here. The street office can force her to return to the countryside, but now the Jia family has three children, and Qin Huairu is alone. Isn't it more difficult?"

He Yuzhu smiled and said, "Auntie Wang, I have an idea."

"Oh? What's the solution?" Director Wang's eyes lit up.

"The Jia family's disturbance in the courtyard is essentially due to poverty. Qin Huairu has no other options for a short period of time. After all, the work grade exam is not something that can be solved in a day or two."

Director Wang nodded and continued listening

"Jia Zhang is not even fifty yet. There are many people in their fifties or sixties who are still earning money to share the pressure on the children. Let Jia Zhang go out to work, forget it. There are still children at home. But, you can let her work at home."

Director Wang's eyes lit up when he heard this.

He Yuzhu continued, "There are some handicrafts on the street. Although Jia Zhang is lazy and greedy, she has no problem doing handicrafts. If she can't do that, she can make matchboxes. She can earn at least five or six yuan a month."

"Yes!" Director Wang slapped his thigh and said!

"But, Aunt Wang, Jia Zhang is famous for being lazy and greedy. How can we let her work? This is what you should consider. If she can earn an extra five or eight yuan a month, the Jia family will be able to get by."

Director Wang nodded first, then frowned, "Zhu Zi, how can we make Jia Zhang do this?"

"Auntie Wang, just give her a task. If she fails to complete it, scare her and send her back to the countryside. This woman is most afraid of going back to the countryside!"

Director Wang patted He Yuzhu on the shoulder and said, "It has to be you, Zhuzi. You have helped Aunt Wang a lot. This Jia Zhang family is the number one problem in our street!"

He Yuzhu smiled and said, "In fact, this is also a problem that I have to solve. You don't know that every time I eat something good at home, I have to be on guard and have no choice but to rack my brains to refuse the Jia family's requests."

"Okay, I'll go to your yard this afternoon! Let's see how Jia Zhang can refuse this time!"

"Auntie Wang, it would be best to bring people from the Women's Federation with you to help women become independent and strong and deal with evil mothers-in-law. This is also what the Women's Federation should do, don't you think?"

Director Wang's face lit up with joy, "Why didn't I think of this? This Jia Zhang is really afraid of the Women's Federation!"

"Well, Aunt Wang, I'm going to work."

"Well, go ahead," Director Wang smiled and sent He Yuzhu out of the office, then happily went to prepare

Chapter 89 He Yuzhu's method, Jia Zhang's resentment

Today, the steel mill had a small kitchen with four tables, so He Yuzhu got off work a little late today. After work, he went to the supply and marketing cooperative to give Song Xia a box of vegetables. It was secretly intercepted by the space when he was cooking.

How could it be leftovers for my wife? Song Xia accepted it with a red face. The staff of the supply and marketing cooperative also said that Xiao Song's man was really caring. Song Xia blushed to her ears.

However, they did not look at what was in the lunch box. After all, in this day and age, normal people still have a sense of boundaries.

After Song Xia returned home, Song Guodong and his wife saw the lunch box their daughter brought. They knew it was given by their son-in-law and were very happy.

However, after opening it, the couple was surprised. They thought it was just some leftovers, but they saw that these were clearly new dishes! Moreover, they were all meat dishes: braised pork, twice-cooked pork, and chicken!

Not only Song Guodong and his wife were surprised, Song Xia was also surprised, "Dad, Mom, I didn't know it would be these. I haven't even opened it to look at it since I got it!"

Song Guodong then said with a smile, "Eat it. This son-in-law is thoughtful and capable! Our Xia Xia is so lucky!"

After get off work in the afternoon, He Yuzhu pushed his bicycle to the gate of the courtyard, but he didn't see Yan Bugui guarding the gate. He Yuzhu was a little surprised and carried his bicycle into the courtyard, but found that there was no one in the front yard.

"What happened today?" He Yuzhu thought as he walked.

When they arrived at the middle courtyard and saw that everyone was gathered there, He Yuzhu remembered that Director Wang was coming to talk about the Jia family tonight.

Yi Zhonghai saw He Yuzhu coming back and said, "Well, Zhuzhu is back, everyone is here, find a place to sit quickly."

Then Yi Zhonghai looked at Director Wang and said, "Director Wang, everyone is here, shall we start?"

Director Wang nodded, then stood up and presided over the meeting himself. "Well, this morning, Comrade He Yuzhu came to the street office and said that the Jia family in your courtyard is having a hard time. A widow is raising three children and an old widow. Life is not easy, so he wants the street office to find a way to solve the problem."

At this time, everyone in the courtyard realized that the solution He Yuzhu had mentioned yesterday was to find the street. However, they thought that it was right, only the street could provide a solution.

Jia Zhang was very happy and said excitedly, "Director Wang, my family is really in trouble. Why don't we ask the street to help and hold a donation event for the whole street?"

Jia Zhang thought that if the entire street donated money, they could at least donate a few hundred yuan, which would probably be enough to cover her son's pension!

Looking at Jia Zhang's excited expression, He Yuzhu felt that Jia Zhang was out of her mind to mention this request in front of Director Wang.

Sure enough, when Director Wang heard what Jia Zhang said, his face darkened.

Qin Huairu was very happy to hear that Director Wang came to solve her family's problem. She was even happier when she knew it was Sha Zhu who proposed it. She felt that Sha Zhu had some ideas about her, otherwise why would he care so much about her?

But after hearing what Jia Zhang said, Qin Huairu wanted to strangle her to death! Then, she immediately stood up and said, "Director Wang, I'm sorry, my mother-in-law can't speak," and then she grabbed Jia Zhang who was about to speak

Jia Zhang was not convinced, Qin Huairu whispered a few words in her ear, Jia Zhang's face changed, and she calmed down.

Director Wang glared at Jia Zhang and continued, "But, I heard that Jia Zhang is a bully in your courtyard, and even the three uncles can't control her."

After hearing what Director Wang said, the neighbors in the courtyard began to whisper:

"Yes, isn't this Jia Zhang the tyrant of this courtyard?"

"Yeah, that's right. Nowadays, no one dares to cook something delicious. They come when they smell it, and make a fuss if you don't give them anything."

"Yes, the day before yesterday, my son caught a small fish weighing half a pound, and we made some fish soup, and she came over to ask for it. If I didn't give it to her, she started to beg for mercy. Oh my god, there was nothing I could do, so I gave her half a bowl, but this damn bitch actually brought a large bowl."

……

Listening to the discussion below, Director Wang looked unhappy, and the three uncles were uneasy. Yi Zhonghai stood up and said, "Director Wang, this is because we three uncles did not do well. Let us reflect on it."

When Jia Zhang heard the discussion, she was about to act arrogantly, but Qin Huairu pulled her back and said, "Mom, are you crazy? Director Wang is there, aren't you afraid that he will send you to the countryside?"

Jia Zhang immediately became honest

Seeing that people had almost finished talking, Director Wang used his hand to stop them and said, "Okay, I'll continue."

"Just like you said, this Jia Zhang, she asks for things from the east and snatches things from the west, and throws a tantrum when she can't get what she wants. All the neighbors in the courtyard are annoyed by these things. I think these problems are all caused by one problem: poverty!"

"In the morning, Comrade He Yuzhu came over and said that the Jia family was poor and hoped that the street office would help solve the problem. The street office discussed it for a day and came up with a solution."

"After the establishment of the new country, the country advocated that people should get rich through hard work, but I saw that Jia Zhang was fat and white. Moreover, I heard that Jia Zhang was idle every day and didn't wash clothes or cook meals. Qin Huairu worked during the day and had to do housework when she came back at night. This is unreasonable."

Hearing this, Jia Zhang was not happy. "I said, Director Wang, I am the mother-in-law and she is the daughter-in-law, so she should do everything! I have to wait for her to do the laundry and cooking!"

Director Wang didn't say anything, but the two female comrades from the Women's Federation next to him were not happy. They slammed the table and said, "Ms. Jia Zhang! You are following feudal customs! You are oppressing women! You are taking history backwards! You need to be criticized!"

Seeing the two female comrades from the Women's Federation getting angry, Jia Zhang suddenly came to her senses and said, "I was wrong, I was wrong."

Director Wang saw that Jia Zhang had calmed down, and thought to himself, it was fortunate that Zhuzi reminded him, otherwise he would have to spend more time

"Just now, the Women's Federation comrades were right. Jia Zhang's behavior is the behavior of a feudal landlord's wife. We will never allow it in the future. This Jia Zhang is a Jia Zhang who needs labor reform." Director Wang looked at Jia Zhang and said, "Tell me, should our street and the Women's Federation comrades send you to the farm for reform, or should you take the initiative to reform at home?"

Seeing Director Wang's stern expression, Jia Zhang shuddered all over, and then immediately said honestly, "Director Wang, I admit my mistakes, I will reform, and I will not go to the farm."

Director Wang continued, "Ms. Jia Zhang, then tell me, how do you reform yourself?"

Jia Zhang rolled her eyes and said, "From now on, Huairu will go to work, and I will do the laundry and cooking. Huairu and I will manage the household together."

Director Wang sneered and said, "It would be best if it's as you said. The Women's Federation will do a good job of investigating. If they find you three times, Jia Zhang, they will send you to a farm for reform. You will have to go there for at least three months, so you'd better think it over carefully."

Jia Zhang was frightened and trembled all over again. Originally, she had planned to leave it all to Qin Huairu and say that she did it herself, but Director Wang blocked her way.

Director Wang's next words made Jia Zhang completely despair. "The comrades in the courtyard should also supervise her. If she is still the same as before, report to the street!"

The neighbors were excited, as the Zhang family in the courtyard had suffered for a long time!

The happiest person would be Qin Huairu. She was full of gratitude and pride towards Sha Zhu. She felt that Sha Zhu gave these ideas to the street because he cared about her.

"Okay, this is how to solve the feudal ideology of Jia Zhang family. Now, let's talk about how to solve the dilemma of Jia family."

When people heard what Director Wang said, they immediately became excited and wondered how the Jia family's predicament could be solved. Would the street office force He Yuzhu to help the Jia family?

“Hard work brings wealth!”

Everyone didn't understand, but He Yuzhu smiled and thought, what we just had was just an appetizer.

Director Wang went on to say, "Qin Huairu earns 275 yuan a month, which is already above the poverty standard set by the state. If Qin Huairu's family goes to other families and says they can't get enough to eat, then they are hedonistic and need to be criticized!"

Qin Huairu's face turned pale. Director Wang's words completely cut off Qin Huairu's way to borrow money and grain from other families.

"If you really want to eat good food, then rely on your own hands, don't always rely on others"

"Qin Huairu, you are a fitter now. I went to your steel mill this morning to inquire about you. In the first two months, you were just being sly and lazy. You didn't want to make progress! Yi Zhonghai, Master Yi, an eighth-level worker, has great skills, but I heard that you made him swear several times because of you! Fortunately, you have been doing well recently! Qin Huairu!"

Qin Huairu stood up tremblingly, but she hated Director Wang in her heart, and was also full of resentment towards Sha Zhu! Why don't you just let yourself suck your blood? Why do you still go to the factory to inquire about these things about yourself?

"Qin Huairu, if you study hard and get promoted, won't that solve all the problems? Why don't you study hard? There is no difficulty before the third-level worker. Even if you only get the third-level worker, you will earn more than 40 yuan a month. Isn't that enough for your family to eat meat several times a month?"

Qin Huairu said with tears in her eyes, "Director Wang, I know I was wrong. I am also working hard to learn, but even if I study, I can't be promoted to a higher level in a short time."

"Hmph! Qin Huairu, I heard that before September, if you don't reach the level of a first-class worker, you will be transferred to the cleaning team. I have already said it in advance. If you are transferred to the cleaning team because you are lazy and don't study, the street will not approve it even if you meet the poverty standard! After all, poverty subsidies are for Jia Ting who really need it, not Jia Ting like you who only know how to suck blood!"

Qin Huairu was frightened by Director Wang's words! She didn't know why Director Wang had such a strong dislike for her family.

"Please sit down. You are right. Even if you are promoted to a higher level, the problem cannot be solved in a short period of time. Therefore, I need another adult in your family to participate in the labor and help your family out of the predicament!"

Jia Zhang was confused. It was not enough to ask her to do housework, but she was also asked to work to earn money. Isn't this going to kill herself? Shazhu, you bastard who will end your family lineage, you are actually cheating yourself like this! ? I won't let you go easily, just wait! Jia Zhang stared at He Yuzhu with resentment in her triangular eyes.

Chapter 90: Jia Zhang surrenders

"Jia Zhang, your household registration is not in our street. If it weren't for the current situation of the Jia family, which requires someone to take care of it, you would have been forced to go to the countryside based on your behavior!"

Jia Zhang was so frightened by Director Wang's words that she was speechless, and her back was sweating. She was really afraid to go back to the countryside. Back in the countryside, she couldn't beat those village women, and she couldn't scold them! Moreover, she had to work!

"Jia Zhang, it's not appropriate for you to go out to work, but you can take on some work. Considering that you haven't worked for a long time, you can take on some work of pasting matchboxes every day."

Jia Zhang was reluctant, but looking at Director Wang and the Women's Federation comrades, she nodded and thought, let Qin Huairu come back to make it in the evening, but Director Wang continued:

"According to statistics, a woman can earn a maximum of 6 cents a day, so I require you to do at least 3 cents a day. If you fail to do so, you will be sent to a farm for reform. If you fail to do so in one day, you will have to work on the farm for a week!"

Jia Zhang was numb, and only relied on Qin Huairu to come back at night to do it, and at most the amount of ten cents could be done. Director Wang had calculated the amount accurately.

"Director Wang, I'm too old to do so much," Jia Zhang stood up and cried.
